Communist Repression in Cuba

#Cuba 🇨🇺| A woman denounced the food shortage in the Santo Suárez neighborhood in Havana, and the crowds caused by people's desperation to get food increases the risk of coronavirus infections. Things like these have been widely reported by the independent press in recent weeks, given the silence of that reality by the dictatorship. The people had gathered in a line by a school where they could buy rationed food module for 27 USD (dollars) until the food run out. Hence they started to protest. Sadly, this is not an isolated incident.

#Cuba 🇨🇺 | A civilian films as Castro cops beat a man down to the floor. You can even hear when the civilian hits the ground. There are tourists as witnesses even. The #CubaPoliceAbuse project tries to collect as many cases as posible. Some even dating far back. Hence the importance of dating each footage. Source: social media, anonymous.

#Cuba 🇨🇺 | Civilians revolted in Matanzas against 2 cops from the PNR ( National Revolutionary Police ). Although the reasons are unknown, Castro police has incremented the violence, theft, and confiscation of food from the population during the times of Covid19. As well as enforcing fines to civilians for no reason at all. Cubans are fed up. Those 2 cops likely committed abuse against someone and it sparked this reaction. There is even an underage kid screaming at the cops, who were driven out of town by the people. On the second video, the cop that tried to take the man’s phone, actually drew his gun. But, not even his gun was able to stop a population that is tired and fed up with repression. Source: social media, anonymous.

#Cuba 🇨🇺🛑| Jonathan Diaz and his 18 year old cousin were in a food line in La Lisa, when the #PNR #Police simply started to harass them. The police grabbed them by the neck and fined Jonathan with 500 Cuban pesos. The cousins were simply in line. The Castro dictatorship has escalated its violence against the population since the beginning of the virus. Cubans have been posting videos of police violence often on social media, getting fined, beaten or harassed by the PNR. The state has criminalized the right of the people to call out abuse of force under the 370 Decree. This is what the communist dictatorship is doing to Cubans.

His “crime” was buying some chicken to feed his family. Dissidents in Cuba have been under this repression for decades. During #Covid times violence has escalated from the dictatorship against civilians and dissidents. Ovidio was arrested on May 6, 2020 from his home. His family is worried about his health and well being. He has received death threats by the state security thugs. He is being held at Police Station Unit #1, Micro 9, Distrito Martí in Santiago de Cuba.

#Cuba 🇨🇺🛑 | This video is a tribute to all the #PoliticalPrisoners all those Cubans who have stood up for their rights and to see a free nation. Besides being subject to beatings, torture, & harsh conditions inside the dictatorship’s prisons, these people are vulnerable to Covid19. According to #CubanPrisonersDefenders there are over 130 political prisoners in Cuba as well as 8 thousand civilians charged with being a “predictive danger to society.” Let’s stand up for them! ➡️ www.cubaencrisis.org ➡️www.prisonersdefenders.org . . #Cuba #Freedom4Cuba #CriminalizeCommunism #CubaDecide #UNPACU #Libertad #prisonersofconscience #covid19 #CambioDeSistema #FreeAymara #FreeMartha #FreeRoberto #FreeMaykel #FreeIsain #FreeYasser #FreeSilverio #FreeIvanAmaro #ElCambioEsYa #CubaPoliceAbuse #NoAl370

#Cuba 🇨🇺🦠🩺 | This is a trip to the bathroom at Policlínico Docente de Playa ( a clinic ) in #Havana. Without good sanitary conditions, the man is outraged. Unfortunately, this is not new and its a day to day for Cubans. The conditions in this hospital, as well as many others, are a concern for anyone being treated or observed for Covid19. Cuba’s healthcare system collapsed years ago and it’s evident during this pandemic. The state is not being transparent with the number of cases and more Cubans are filming and posting on social media videos like this, for the world to see.

#Cuba 🇨🇺🛑 #SOS | A woman named Aylin and her baby have been arrested violently by the Castro police after a forced eviction by the tyranny. These forced evictions are a common abuse by the dictatorship against Cubans. A few days ago, the regime performed a demolition and forced eviction against a thousand families in El Cotorro. Now its even more dangerous because of the pandemic. Again, we do not trust the numbers given by the Castro state about the corona virus. Cubans are even more vulnerable being under violence and repression with the communist regime and under a pandemic. Why is the #PNR treating this mom and her child like this?

#Cuba 🇨🇺🩺💉 A man films the condition his dad is in a hospital in San Antonio de los Baños, Artemisa. This is but one of the countless testimonies of the bad conditions of hospitals in Cuba for civilians. The myth of the “best healthcare in the world” is busted every time a Cuban makes a statement like this one. We are creating a new playlist about the truth behind the dictatorship’s health “ care “ system. The footage speaks for itself. There is a reality for tourists who pay $ to be treated in separate hospitals from Cuban nationals, who are being humiliated by the state and the false claim of “free health.” On another note, the conditions in this hospital are not new. Growing up in the 90’s in the island, as an asthmatic, I spent most of my childhood in Cuban hospitals in Artemisa. I’m also a witness to these horrible hygienic conditions and lack of medicine. Like me, many Cubans can tell you the same thing. One thing is the dictatorship propaganda, an another is the reality. #Hospitals #Healthcare #Cuba #Covid19 #Cubans #CambioDeSistema #Freedom4Cuba #Ni1Mas

#Holguin #Cuba 🇨🇺🛑 #PNR harasses and arrests and old civilian for selling garlic to provide for his family in a town in Holguin. Cubans have been increasingly reporting cases of violence and repression and posting them on social media. Such as this case, reported by @yoandrisveraneofficial who actually recorded this abuse. The Castro tyranny, through its constitution, ( Decree 370 ) allows for police to arrest and fine 3000 cup to anyone filming anything to do with the virus, or any use of force by police. Not too long ago, 2 teenagers were taken by the PNR in Havana and raped by the cops. Their families are still seeking justice for the girls.

#Cuba #PNR beat up 2 civilians. Given that the police is wearing face masks, it’s a recent violent incident. If anyone knows the location please let us know. #Castro police and military brought upon the population a wave of violence during this pandemic. They are fining anyone, beating civilians, raiding and confiscating merchandize and food from people who need it to survive, and implementing forced evictions.

#Cuba 🇨🇺🛑 | #PoliceAbuse in Galiano and Dragones, Centro Habana today. A husband and wife ( vendor ) were beaten up and arrested by the PNR ( Castro Police) and Boinas Negras ( Special Forces Military ) in a busy market. The man seems to respond to police harassment and defended himself from them. The dictatorship has been incrementing the repression against Cubans even more during this pandemic times. As you can see, besides the State violence, there is no social distancing. Which is why the state oficial numbers cannot be trusted. Cubans do not have the privilege of staying home since our people need to find food and make money to buy basic necessities. We chose not to add all the subtitles, since the people filming this were making fascists and racist comments, as well as demanding the police to beat them both and even hang the man for facing the “authorities.” After 61 years of repression, the population is standing up for their rights.

#Cuba 🇨🇺🛑 | #PoliceAbuse vs civilians. Mileydi Salcedo and a friend were live on facebook when the cops patrol #408 decided to drag them to the car. There has been an increase in repression, arrests, forced evictions by the state and fines against the Cuban population during Covid19 times. Decree 370 in the Communist Party Constitution, allows for these arbitrations to happen. Activists and journalists are being fined 3000 cup for denouncing the situation in hospitals with the virus. Mileydi Salcedo was the same woman that caught on tape how the PNR was beating and arresting 2 old men, one of them blind, back in March 15. We posted the video as well. These brave women were most likely filming another such abuse when they were arrested. They were taken to the Aguilera Police Station in 10 de octubre, Lawton.

#Cuba 🇨🇺🛑 #PoliceAbuse during this pandemic times. There is an increment of violence from the Castro Police vs civilians and dissidents. The regime’s violent nature and disregard for individual freedom is reaching worrying levels. Cubans are not able to simply stay home. Our families have to go on lines and get whatever food comes into the stores. The Dictatorship’s constitution implemented the 370 Decree which authorizes police to charge anyone talking of filming about the Covid19 situation in Cuba, with fines and even incarceration. Social media is filled with posts and videos from Cubans getting fed up about the fines and repression.

#Cuba 🇨🇺🛑 | “Hunger and despair are taking over the Cuban people and the police are spraying crowds everywhere. People screaming and some are throwing stones. The regime cannot demand isolation when it does not guarantee food, personal hygiene products or wages. Repression does not control hunger, which increases every day more than they will be able to control, ” the independent journalist published on Facebook. More than a hundred people protested this Thursday in the Cuban capital amid the #coronavirus #pandemic, which has already registered 67 cases of contagion on the Island. The incident occurred at the “La Borla” store, in front of the Sergio González park, El Curita, in Central Havana. The protest was reportedly sparked in a queue to buy chicken, a recurring scene on the island for the past few weeks.

#Cuba 🇨🇺🆘 | “Abusadores!!” A civilian films from the balcony as State Security harasses Virgen Millet, a second hand clothes vendor in a busy street in Centro Habana. The woman was pushed and beaten as she tried to defend herself. According to her neighbors, Virgen has mental health issues as well. She survives of selling clothes. The Castro cops have a history of repressing “cuentapropistas” ( self employed). Known as the Castro blockade on Cubans. In the context of a global pandemic of #Covid19 the streets in the island are filled with people trying to buy food and soap, as well as making a living. This happened on March 20. The other 2 men that tried to help Virgen, were also arrested violently. When will the Castro regime stop these abuses against Cubans?

#Cuba 🇨🇺 | Leonor Reyno is arrested for filming the Castro police as they question dissident Rosario Morales La Rosa. According to Leonor’s testimony, a package or belonging from Rosario’s son was stolen and they were at that location to recover it. It’s not clear who stole the package. It could be a case of police confiscation of goods from self employed civilians like Rosario herself. The police was upset that Leonor was recording and proceeded to arrest her. She refused go give her ID to these thugs that only respond in the name of a totalitarian dictatorship.

#Cuba 🇨🇺🆘 | A woman filmed with outrage as these cops from #PNR were arresting these 2 old men with violence. One of them uses a machete to trim people’s backyards to make a living. The other one sells what he can, he is a 70 year old man with a son with mental health issues at home. The old blind man is confused why he is being pushed by the police. This happened today in Havana. The civilian recording this along with upset neighbors, is asking who can we report these corrupt cops? They arrested her not too long ago and are now arresting these 2 old men that everyone knows in that barrio. The elderly in Cuba are a generation abandoned by the so called revolution. A lot of them cannot survive with a pension and resort to selling and working however they can. To top it off, this is not an isolated case of Castro police using violence against old people, and old blind people. 😡 This needs to end!!! We need #Freedom4Cuba If this is how the communist tyranny treats the elder, we are afraid of how they will be treated as the #Covid19 cases are on the rise in Cuba.

#Cuba 🇨🇺🆘 | The Suriaga Gonzalez family is denouncing to the world the unfair trial the communist state is putting their son, Yanpiel Gonzalez. Yanpiel is charged with being a “social danger” under the law “Ley de Peligrosidad Predelictiva o Peligrosidad Social.” In other words, the Castro tyranny uses this law to make any civilian a criminal, anything can be deemed a “crime” and the person can be charged before the alleged crime is committed. Similar to the movie Minority Report, only this actually happening in our country. There is no presumption of inocense and trials are unfair and useless. This young man might be facing years in prison charged with an invented crime by the state. His family is not allowed to witness the trial. The police guarding the door. They feel helpless like many Cuban families that have gone through this arbitration and violation of Human Rights. They want the help of Cuban influencer Alex Otaola so the world knows the injustice being committed. Also, under this “Social Danger Law” anyone can be charged as a common criminal, including dissidents. This is how the Castro regime avoids the fact that they have political prisoners. Or they try to. According to NGO Cuban Prisoners Defenders’ investigations, it “resulted in figures of more than 100,000 inmates, that is around 1% of the total population, exactly more than 950 prisoners per 100 thousand inhabitants, distributed in hundreds of prisons and institutions of reclusion all over the island.” March 14, 2020 Source: The Suriaga Gonzalez family & New Generation News Date: March 12, 2020 Place: Caibarien, Villa Clara, Cuba Victim: Yanpiel Gustavo Gonzalez Suriaga 🔗 https://www.unpacu.org/en/cuban-prisoners-defenders-cuba-tiene-miles-de-presos-politicos/ (English article) #CubaReal #Freedom4Cuba #PeligrosidadSocial #MinorityReport #VillaClara #AbuseOfForce #HumanRights #footage #HumanRightsViolations #Repression #Communism #ElCambioEsYa #CubaDecide #Ni1Mas #CambioDeSistema #FreeCuba #LlegoLaHora #PNR #Minint #DTI #UnfairTrial #PoliceAbuse #Tyranny

#Cuba 🇨🇺 | Cubans in Santa Clara today were part of a peaceful protest in front of the provincial communist party headquarters. These are civilians trying to make a living by their own means since the State has been incapable of caring for Cubans since 1959. These people are cuenta propistas, or self employed, they are demanding to see they local governor. There is an arbitrary law that was passed by the state, that revoked self employed licenses. People are tired and at some point in this protest, they demanded freedom. The private sector depends on the state since this regime is a monopoly of the means of production. This is the real blockade. These Cubans are not afraid and are fed up with the system.

#Cuba 🇨🇺🆘 | Activists Omara Ruiz Urquiola, Iliana Hernandez, Camila Acosta, & Abu Duyanah Tamayo were arrested yesterday during a peaceful protest demanding the freedom of artist Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara. Arrested under fabricated charges by the communist dictatorship. The activists were being followed by a young man in the red shirt, identified as a state security agent along with the old man with the hat. They called the police and organize an old fashion repudiating act against the activists. Curiously, older people were used to shout and bully the activists. These older people most likely have no idea who Luis Manuel Otero is. They were sent there with specific orders. They are accusing the artist of being a criminal. There is no justice, due process of presumption of innocence under Castro’s revolution, only an older generation shouting slogans from a dying, decrepit and obsolete ideology. Omara Ruiz Urquiola is still in unknown whereabouts. She needs her cancer medications. Also, there is no sign of the other activists. Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara has his first “trial” on March 11 at 9am in the Municipal Court of 10 de Octubre, La Habana. . .

🇨🇺🆘 #Cuba #FreeLuisManuel A report from lawyer Laritza Diversent of Cubalex: During the past 30 months, Luis Manuel Otero Alcantara has been the victim of 32 incidents of harassment by police. Of these, 27 have been arbitrary detentions, several with the use of force and violence, the majority in solitary confinement and short periods of disappearance. Generally the authorities refuse to inform the place where they keep him detained. In 2019 alone, the PNR arrested him 15 times, and four so far in 2020. None of these arrests have been judicially supervised. At least six Habeas Corpus have been submitted in his favor. The Provincial court of Havana has only responded to two. The video corresponds to just a few arbitrary arrests and harassment incidents from the totalitarian state vs artist Luis Manuel: 2018- July: Performance in Havana vs the 349 Decree in the PCC constitution, one more arbitrary decree from tyranny that targets artistic freedom and makes it a crime against the State. 2019- April 11: Performance with the US flag: running around or walking with the flag- that seems to be a “criminal” activity by the tyranny. The police here almost arrests an underage kid. Shot by Michel Matos. 2020- February: after the collapse of the balcony that killed 3 girls in Jesus María, Havana on Jan 2020, ( due to negligence by the Ministry of Construction #MICONS) artist Luis Manuel Otero started to walk around wearing a construction helmet as a performance with the text “children should not be killed by building collapses.” He was arrested for this. The latest on March 1st, 2020 he was beaten and arrested for walking outside his home and supporting an LGTBQ protest vs censorship, his girlfriend Claudia Genlui beaten by #PNR and her cellphone stolen because she filmed his violent arrest. He is currently held in the Valle Grande prison with a charge of “vandalism,” his head was shaved and could be facing a 2-5 year prison sentence. In #Cuba, the communist regime has a history of fabrication of charges against anyone they want, you are always guilty. There is no justice and freedom.

#Cuba 🇨🇺 #WeRemember Today #CubaArchive : Margarito Lanza Flores , better known by his war name "Captain Tondique," was a legendary guerrilla leader operating in the area north of Las Villas, from Sagua La Grande and Corralillo , 1962 against the Castro regime. He was a farmer who never had trouble with the law, or was violent. His story begins when the communists came over to intervene his farm under the so called Agrarian Reform ( one of the lies of the Revolution that left thousands of humble farmers without their property). With a man named Macho Mora, Tondique quickly took up arms and went to the jungle. His guerrilla was one of the most active throughout Cuba. They participated in countless battles and were among the most persecuted. Communists resented that a poor black peasant was one of the main rebels against Castro and his revolution. So they took it out on him, and chased him more than other guerrilla groups in Escambray. On one occasion, Tondique's guerrilla took the Military Camp, La Paloma, the main base of the militias in the north of Las Villas located in the town of Quemado de Guines. One of the guerrilla tactics of Tondique, was walking backward , conversely, to confuse the enemy. But in February 1962, two government helicopters, tracked down Tondique and his men. There were thousands of men surrounding the farmer guerrilla in a cane field in Quemado de Guines area. The battle lasted two or three days, in which the military cowardly set the field on fire. Tondique and his men dug holes to escape the fire, but could not resist anymore. Injured, burned, without water and ammunition they were captured. That same day, March 2, 1962, with the terrible pain from burns, seen in his mugshot here, Margarito Lanza Flores (Tondique), Macho Mora, and the remaining men were executed by Castro commander Victor Dreke, under a bridge, located on the fields of Quemado de Guines. He was 23 years old. This is one of the war crimes that has not gotten any justice. @cubaarchive #Tondike #Freedom4Cuba
